California secession

In the Spring of 2019, Californians will go to the polls in a historic vote to decide by referendum if California should exit the Union, a Calexit vote.

The Yes California Independence Campaign will qualify a citizen's initiative for the 2018 ballot that if passed would call for a special election for Californians to vote for or against the independence of the state from the rest of the U.S.

Yes, people are serious, although there are some funny aspects, like the call for Arizona and Nevada to pay for a wall.

California independence, of course, would require Congressional approval.  On the other hand, those yahoos in Mississippi and Texas might welcome the state's departure.  They are way too dumb to realize that the taxpayers of California are subsidizing them.

Incidentally, the independence movement started before the presidential election, but since then has really picked up steam.
